flocculator-clarifier


Explanation:
this is the tank where flocculation (formation of large particles) and clarification (settling of said particles) takes place.

flocculator-clarifier seems to be the most common term, as indicated by these sites:

http://www.gonashua.com/mayor/water/8970_WaterCapacity.pdf
http://www.imionline.org/level1wef.html
http://www.shsu.edu/~bio_jrd/343terms.html
http://www.water-technology.net/projects/cary/specs.html

clariflocculator is also used, though it seems to be more common in non-U.S. sites
A definition is available here:

http://www.polutech.com/Pro_Clariflocculator.html

while not an extremely common word it is used in several sites that can be taken as legitimante:

Hope this helps!
